マラキ書 3:10-11 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 3:10

All the tithes; the whole tithe— not merely a portion of it. God is not served with partial service. The storehouse . The tithes were brought to the temple, and laid up in the chambers built to receive them (see Nehemiah 10:38 , Nehemiah 10:39 ; Nehemiah 13:5 , Nehemiah 13:12 , Nehemiah 13:13 ; 2 Chronicles 31:11 , 2 Chronicles 31:12 ).

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 3:10

Recognition of practical penitence. "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse" All must include those which ought to have been brought and had not. It was the paying up of old debts which would show the practical and sincere character of the penitence. Sin brings its own punishment. God will treat us relatively to our treatment of him. He recompensed this restored nation of Israel according to their doings. He blighted their fields and blemished their flocks, so that the]and groaned... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 3:11

The devourer. The locust (see Introduction to Joel, § 1.). God would not only give a fruitful season, so that the crops sprang up well, but would guard them from everything that could injure them before they were gathered in. Septuagint, διαστελῶ ὑμῖν εἰς βρῶσιν , which perhaps means, as Schleusner thinks, "I will give a charge unto consumption for your good," though Jerome renders, "dividam vobis cibos." read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Malachi 3:10

Bring the whole tithes - , not a part only, keeping back more or less, and, as he had said, defrauding God, offering, like Ananias, apart, as if it had been the whole; into the treasury, where they were collected in the time of Hezekiah and again, at this time, by the direction of Nehemiah, “so that there shall be food,” not superfluity, in My house “for those who minister in the house of My sanctuary.” Nehemiah 13:10-23. “The Levites and singers had, before the reformation, fled every one to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Malachi 3:11

And I will rebuke the devourer - , the locust, caterpillar, or any like scourge of God. It might be, that when the rain watered the fields, the locust or caterpillar etc. might destroy the grain, so that the labors of man should perish; wherefore he adds, “I will rebuke the devourer. Neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time,” holding out a fair promise, but cut off by the frost-wind or the hail; the blossoms or the unripe fruit strewing the earth, as a token of God’s displeasure. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Malachi 3:1-18

Cheating God (2:17-3:18)When the Jews saw surrounding nations prosper while they suffered hardship, they complained that God was not just. Other nations made no effort to keep God’s law, whereas Israel was his people (17). Malachi replies that if justice is what the Jews want, then justice is what they will have; but they must realize that such justice will apply to them as well as to their heathen neighbours. They have asked for the God of justice; now he will come and do his work of justice... read more

"Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.""The whole tithe ..."
